Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp has hinted that he wants James Milner to stay with the club next season.

The 37-year-old's current deal with the Reds is due to expire at the end of June, and there have allegedly not yet been any discussions over a possible extension.

Milner has again been a regular for the Merseyside giants during the 2022-23 campaign, making 21 appearances in all competitions, including 12 outings in the Premier League.

The experienced midfielder also played in all six of his side's fixtures in the group stage of the Champions League.

Klopp has confirmed that Milner has no plans to retire this summer, and the Liverpool boss has suggested that he is keen to keep hold of the "incredibly important player".

"We have different plans for Milly but Milly wants to keep playing," Klopp told reporters on Friday.

"When you see him play the other night I think everyone understands that. You can't judge him normal for his age. He is 37, doesn't look a day like this when he is in training.

"He is an incredibly important player and in this game (Wolves) you saw on the pitch as well. It is not that Milly expects to play 64 games a season but in 64 games a season Milly could be extremely important. That is how it is. Milly has reached 600 games and most of them for Liverpool.

"Even a player who had a few clubs can end up at his club and I would consider Liverpool as his club and I am pretty sure the club should use his character and his mindset because it is really special.

"There might be more fancy players out there but no one with a similar mind-set and that makes him incredibly valuable for us. And it is not because I am too loyal. It is just a fact."

Milner came through the youth system at Leeds United before making his first-team debut for the club in 2002.

The midfielder then represented Newcastle United and Aston Villa ahead of a switch to Manchester City, where he spent five years, winning two Premier League titles, one FA Cup and an EFL Cup.

Liverpool signed Milner in the summer of 2015, and he has represented the Reds on 310 occasions in all competitions, scoring 26 goals and contributing 46 assists in the process.

The Englishman has also enjoyed success at Anfield in terms of trophies, winning the Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup, Champions League, Community Shield, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup.
